I'm just a minimalist beginner--not there yet! But I've already seen some rippling effects on my life from the decluttering I've done. I'd love to hear what you think the benefits of minimalism are!
My living space being calm and easily cleaned is definitely one major reason for me to embrace minimalism. I don't hate cleaning at all, but it ticks me off if it's made a little more time consuming and difficult by too much decor or clutter.
I didn't enjoy cleaning either! I now find so much joy from cleaning because my mind is relaxed when my space is tidy. I like to listen to audiobooks while cleaning. I often find more things to clean just because I enjoy the book! I wanted to pass along Blueland. It's a low impact cleaning line of products. You drop their tablet into a water filled bottle and BOOM you have window cleaner, or table top cleaner or bathroom cleaner. I've really been enjoying them. Non streaky.
Just found your channel and am now binge watching! I am 61 and loving my journey towards minimalism. I can see that your content is valuable for viewers of all ages. Well done and thank and you.
Aw, thank you so much! Best of luck on your journey!
me too!! same age and feel this is valuable for everyone, not just the younger crowd.
Years ago when I read Karen Kingston's great book Clear you Clutter with Feng Shui my mind was blown by the idea that open space in a home -- the *absence* of stuff -- can be of value. Now that I've experienced for myself the calm, good feeling something as simple as a clear counter can give me it motivates me to let go of more. Minimal stuff, maximum good feelings!
Great video! I can personally attest to the benefits of minimalism. I initially discovered it right after my divorce and it gave me the freedom to let go of so many items from my "past life" without feeling guilt. Recently I've learned that minimalism is a journey that ebbs and flows. I've just moved into a studio apartment and the space has really restricted my belongings but also enlightened me to how lax I was getting about my purchases. Love your channel by the way and always look forward to your new content. :)
Thanks for sharing about your experience with minimalism! That's such a good point that the journey ebbs and flows. I think we can all be hard on ourselves when it "ebbs," but, I agree, that's actually really normal. Definitely a comfort to hear about your experience and the challenge of moving into a new space. And thanks so much for the kinds words! I appreciate it. :)
Ok wow I love your content and I think you're going to explode in popularity at some point
Oh my goodness, thanks :)
Awesome video; I also clean in the morning as well it's very therapeutic for me and with my journey to minimalism I'm reaping so many benefits 😊💕
I just checked out your channel--love your content! Amazing vibe and style
@@ElinLesser Thank you so much 😊💕 loving your content as well.
I'm naturally a hoarder so I watch videos like yours to curb my hoarding. It helps me to get rid of things periodically. So that I don't get overwhelmed with too much stuff. I don't think I could call myself a minimalist yet. However I'm slowly reducing things bit by bit and trying not to acquire too much new stuff. I also set myself rules now like no more craft items until I've used what I have.
Thanks so much for sharing! It's definitely a process, and it doesn't all need to happen at once. I totally think gradually working at it is key. Keep it up! :)
Nailed it. I watch a lot of minimalism videos and wasn’t sure what a new voice would add. You are relatable and the video is very well done. Subbing!
Thanks so much! That means a lot, because I know there are already a lot of incredible minimalism channels out there, so I always wonder if I should be doing this--so thank you!
You should do an apartment tour.
Thanks for the request! I may do that sometime soon!
You know you are my podcast as I am declutterin now
Yay! love that. :)
@@ElinLesser that’s good. ! 😁 been looking at many other people and I must say I keep going back to you. To me you feel very natural, at ease, easy to follow, nice voice, in short just what I need to boost me up. Thank you 😊
Fewer belongings more money and time available to enjoy life ☺️
Yay for Hilma in the background
good eye! :)
*Setting yourself up for succes* is the best motivation 🌻 thank you
so true! :)
Your content is so gorgeous to watch! I love your style and the calming atmosphere you have created.
Thank you so much!!!
I am also enjoying housework now! Who could have i.imagined that?
right??
I hate cleaning 🧼 but it’s not as bad nowadays 🙃
Listening as I’m decluttering my kitchen, come across my mug cupboard and there she is saying: “mug stuck up to each other, about to fall..” me looking at my phone and looking back to my cupboard and feeling like… I don’t know🤦🏻♀️
So true!
Loved your video
Thank you!!
Hi my name is Sheri and and I just found your channel!! Love it!! I have two children ages 30 and 26. Can I say you are so beautiful!! I have been minimalizing for the past couple of years. It's a work in progress!! Loved when you said minimalism allows you to put your time and energy into the things that truly matter. God Bless!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! They mean a lot. And thanks for sharing a little bit about yourself--it's so great hear a little bit about people and their minimalism journey. I totally agree--this whole journey definitely feels like a work in progress!
I'm moving to a different place soon so I've accidentally become a minimalist. I need to decluter my stuff because I'm moving into a smaller place and I've got way too much stuff that I don't want to take with me.
Dear Elin, I love your videos. Many thanks. Look forward to watch more videos from you.
Was looking for inspiration and this was it✨ Thanks for sharing 🙏🏼
I'm interested in minimalism and I needed a video like this. Great video! It's super interesting how this change of lifestyle can change someone's life that much. I guess declutter is still my struggle at the moment but hope you can upload more videos about this!
Thank you so much! I'll work on it ;)
Love it! & what a truth & puse for awareness when you mention how people may let their stuff dictate where they live. So true! Now if there's somewhere they want to live & they find great spacing too great, but when Stuff stops you from choosing a location & living where you want, there's a need to stop & reevaluate. Thank you for sharing!
You're fabulous 🤩❤❤❤
I've noticed that I don't like spending time cleaning and decided few months ago that I need to take a step towards accepting this task haha I have to put rock music whilst doing that though 👌
haha love it! We all need to find that thing that gets us motivated :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This was very helpful! Thanks.
Great video
Love your channel 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 .How minimalism change your beauty, makeup and self care routine? It will be so helpful and nice if you can make a video about it .
I’m no expert, but I think it’s ok to call yourself a minimalist if you’re in that mindset and living intentionally like you said. Like I don’t think there’s a gate keeping threshold of personal property that qualifies you.
Really like this video ")
What podcasts do you recommend?
🖐🏼🙂
Oops! Take out the last “and” from my comment 😉
Hi Wendy! In case you haven't discovered this yourself yet, I wanted to let you know you can edit or delete your own comments on UA-cam by clicking on the three vertical dots to the right of the comment. I do this often because I'm a typo-generating machine! ; - )
P.S. I get intimidated by technology, but a friend who worked in computers taught me it's okay to "play" with the interface ---literally just pressing buttons and seeing what they do. I also google questions about how to do things and can often find an answer online because someone else has already asked it. We're all learning as we go! Best wishes to you! : - ) ❤
